People want to pick my brain … which is awesome … but actually I realised my brain costs 18 years in education, my parents petrol & busy money, long nights, hard work, £40,000 in student debt and even more putting up with toxic behaviour… so it can’t be free, can it? 👀🧠

I’m feeling to take some time off and figure out life. And the reason I’m sharing is because we live in this hyper productive society that always feels like it’s on, but even if you’re on sometimes you don’t know where you’re going and floating … or are you numb 👀

A company in the UK that raise over £30 million didn't have budget for my talk and felt that sharing the story to their IG FOLLOWERS (in the 100s) would be fair compensation 🤷🏽♀️

I think that the intent is there … the execution could have been way better … eg have a women of colour waiting diagnosis in the industry lead the discussion or be a protagonist … this is a serious topic but isn’t spotlight those who need the sounding board or support 🤷♀️

Adhd 🧵
For the last 24 months I’ve been in the system for my adhd assessment and today I got a call asking for my parents record of me as a child and if I had adhd. Honestly, I come from a brown family … they didn’t, we didn’t even know what this was what 15 years ago? 👀
